Sam Fischer has shared his compelling and emotive new single All My Loving, which is out now through RCA Records and follows his recent single Hopeless Romantic, hit song This City and duet with Demi Lovato What Other People Say.
All My Loving, co-written and produced with Steve Mac during the pandemic, is a soulful and heartfelt song about having an honest conversation with yourself to do better. It builds to a euphoric and passionate chorus of declarations that showcase Sam’s powerful vocals. Sam says;
“All My Loving was written with living legend and pop god, Steve Mac, in the middle of the pandemic over zoom, so anything but a big banging pop song about love was not going to be possible. The song itself came from the phrase “have an honest conversation with yourself Sam” being yelled at me. If you were in any relationship throughout the last few years you’re lying if it wasn’t uniquely challenging at times. My issue is it wasn’t a fair fight because I was absolutely the problem and also the one starting it. So, this song is both a banger and a big statement.”
Sam’s debut single This Citycurrently stands at over 500 million worldwide streams and 4 million worldwide sales and stayed in the UK Top 20 for 11 weeks. The track is also double platinum in Australia, platinum in the UK and Gold in the US, New Zealand and Switzerland. Sam also performed the track on US TV, including Ellen, Jimmy Kimmel and The Late Late Show with James Corden. His duet with Demi LovatoWhat Other People Say has sold over 1 million copies and saw him perform the track on Ellen alongside Demi Lovato. Earlier this year he completed his first live tours in the UK and US, including a packed-out London Garage performance, and recently supported Ashe on tour in the UK and Europe.
Australian born Sam Fischer first introduced himself with his Not A Hobby EP and has achieved well deserved attention since for his heartfelt songs. Touring North America with his friend Lewis Capaldi, he wowed crowds with his buoyant personality and pure love and talent for song-writing. Now based between LA and London, he not only has received acclaim for his own work, but he continues to solidify his spot as one of the hottest current writers, having worked with global pop superstars including Ciara, Cat Burns, Lennon Stella, Louis Tomlinson, Elle King, Jessie J, Virginia To Vegas and many more.
However, it hasn’t all been plain sailing for Sam, who endured his own heartache to achieve his dreams. With the promise of a recording contract in the bag, he set off to LA only for the deal to be pulled away. After months of couch-surfing, he finally and deservedly received his break with This City and project Homework, which has been just the start of an exciting new chapter in Sam’s career with lots more still to come.
Today, critically lauded artist Joji has released his first new music since his sophomore album, Nectar, came out in 2020. Entitled “Glimpse Of Us,” the stripped-down piano ballad – released by acclaimed music collective 88rising – is a tender and lovelorn remembrance of a past relationship. Anchored by one of the most commanding choruses Joji has ever written and sung, “Glimpse Of Us” is at once new but familiar, showcasing Joji’s incredible vocal range and melancholic delivery. Listen HERE. Watch the video HERE.
A music video for the track also premiered today. Directed by Dan Streit (Brockhampton, Charli XCX, Diplo), the docu-style edit offers a sharp contrast to the elegiac ballad. All captured by one enigmatic figure behind the camera, the video depicts a day in the life through various acts of delinquency and sowing chaos.
The release of “Glimpse Of Us” follows Joji‘s debut at the 2022 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival – one of the weekends’ most highly-anticipated and talked-about performances. As such, Joji is announcing his full North American SMITHEREENS TOUR for this Fall. All tour dates are below. Tickets for these shows go on-sale next Thursday, June 16, at 10 AM local time in each market. Joji will also be making appearances at a number of festivals this year, including Governors Ball Music Festival this weekend, Day N Vegas, and a special DJ set (as Yebi Labs) at this year’s Head In The Clouds Festival by 88rising, taking place August 20-21 in Pasadena, CA.
The Japan-born singer and producer Joji is one of the world’s most enthralling artists with over 7 billion streams to date. Joji’s sophomore album, Nectar, debuted at #1 on Spotify’s inaugural US Weekly Top 50 Albums chart, #1 on Billboard’s Independent albums chart, and #3 on the Billboard 200. Nectar debuted at #1 in Australia and in the top 10 in New Zealand, Canada, UK, and Norway. Joji also earned his highest-ever debut on the Billboard Hot 100 with the RIAA-certified Gold song “Run,” and his national television debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
For the past nine months, international artist, Christina Aguilera, has honored her Latin roots in the best possible way: composing, producing, performing, and sharing hit songs that are included in “LA FUERZA”, her first EP in Spanish in her last 20 years of career, and the second EP entitled “LA TORMENTA”, which was released yesterday on all digital platforms.
From “LA TORMENTA” comes “Suéltame”, a new and sensual collaboration with Argentine pop star TINI. The single, already available HERE, was composed by Aguilera, TINI, and Kat Dahlia along with producers Mauricio Rengifo, Andrés Torres, Rafa Arcaute, Federico Vindver, and co-produced by Afo Verde.
To top it all off, Christina decided to release “AGUILERA”, an album that includes all the songs that make up her EPs in Spanish “LA FUERZA” and “LA TORMENTA”, plus a new version of the spectacular ranchera “Cuando Me Dé La Gana” with Mexican singer Christian Nodal.
The surname album title, “AGUILERA”, is a direct way of honoring her Latina roots and family heritage which are the source of pride and inspiration much of her new music.
It should be noted that this new project, produced by renowned composers and producers Rafa Arcaute and Federico Vindver, includes stellar collaborations with international artists such as TINI, Ozuna, Becky G, Nicki Nicole and Nathy Peluso.
“AGUILERA” promises to delight Christina’s fans, since she manages to fuse different Latin musical genres without losing that essence that has made her one of the most important and respected artists of her generation.
British multi-platinum singer-songwriter Calum Scott’s sublime new single “Heaven” has been refreshed with a spanking new Southeast Asian twist. Acclaimed pop artists in the region hailing from Philippines (Darren Espanto), Malaysia (Diana Danielle), Vietnam (Hoàng Duyên) & Indonesia (Lyodra), reimagines Calum’s latest soulful ballad with their own distinctive touch, yet keeping to the essence of the track at its core. Scheduled for release on 9th June 2022, the 4 forthcoming collaborative singles captures the ethereal feeling of falling in love into the concept of an unimaginable paradise, a universal feeling that certainly transcends boundaries.
Featuring some of the most prominent stars in the region from Darren Espanto, one of the Philippines’ most successful male pop artists in the last decade, to Lyodra, the winner of Indonesian Idol 2020 and a household name known for her vocal prowess, to Diana Danielle, a multi-hyphenate withan impressive social following of more than 6 million and Hoàng Duyên, recognized asone of Vietnam’s most promising rising artists.
Some words from the artists on the special project:
Calum Scott: I am so excited to be working with these incredible artists from Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam! I have always had a special place in my heart for Asia so to sing with local talent from across the region is a real honour. Each of these artists have brought something new to our collaboration of “Heaven” and I can’t wait for everyone to hear them.
Diana Danielle: It was a very exciting experience being able to collaborate with Calum on “Heaven”. Being able to work on a beautiful song with an artist of his calibre whilst being chosen to represent Malaysia is an experience I’ll always hold dearly to.
Darren Espanto: I’m really excited about the collab. I’ve been listening to Calum since he officially released “Dancing On My Own” after his Britain’s Got Talent journey. One of my favourite songs to sing to is “You Are The Reason”. Now, I have the opportunity to collaborate with him on his song and showcase the track with other artists across Southeast Asia. I hope to perform this track with Calum live on stage someday soon!
Hoàng Duyên: Personally, I really love listening to such healing songs, they are like the chicken soup for the soul. “Heaven” sounds exactly like its name. The song is filled with positive energy. This is such a precious opportunity for a young artist like me. Both Calum and I have worked on this project wholeheartedly. We cannot wait to share this song with you. Hope you will love this duet from us!
Lyodra: I’m so excited about this project. I hope the fans will love this song and our collaboration. I hope Calum and I will be able to meet up in person soon & hopefully perform this duet together live. I want to thank Calum for giving me the chance to sing with him, it’s a real honour for me.
The triumphant and timeless ballad reveals Calum’s gift for finding unexpected ways to express universal emotions. “As songwriters, we’re always searching for new ways of saying ‘I miss you’ or ‘I love you’ or ‘I want you back,’” says Calum, who co-wrote “Heaven” with Hayley Warner (an Australian singer/songwriter who’s also penned songs for artists like Katy Perry and Tori Kelly). “‘The concept of ‘Heaven’ is the love between two people being so powerful that it is far superior to anything else, any other form of paradise that could be offered. I loved the idea of putting the power into the relationship.” Threaded with lyrics that offer a certain poetic wisdom, “What good is life if we’re all just waiting to dance in the sky?”, the result is a breathtaking tribute to living in the moment by fully surrendering to love.
Each track will be released alongside an official music video premiere on 9th June 2022 at
Breakout UK electronic duo Duke & Jones have unveiled the official single release of ‘Jiggle Jiggle’, their viral collaboration with Louis Theroux, out 13th May.
Currently the biggest song on TikTok (over 100,000 daily creations and 4.8 million overall TikToks and over 50 million views on the original video), ‘Jiggle Jiggle’ sees Duke & Jones carve an infectious remix around a snippet of Theroux’s rap which was born on an episode of his celebrated Weird Weekends series and reprised more recently on Amelia Dimoldenberg’s Chicken Shop Date.
After being picked up and danced to by all sorts of celebrities, including Snoop Dogg & Lizzo, the success of the track has now transcended TikTok, and Duke & Jones’ YouTube upload of it currently sits at over 4 million streams. ‘Jiggle Jiggle’ has also picked up significant press coverage, including from the Daily Mail, LA Timesand British GQ.
Duke & Jones are quickly establishing themselves as one of the most forward-thinking independent acts in the industry. Carving a reputation as ‘producer’s producers’ they continue to prove that true talent doesn’t need a record label or huge co-sign to make waves – instead, they let the music speak for itself. Their unique sound has helped them garner millions of global listeners – including a loyal TikTok following who are hooked to their hilarious autotune videos – and support from some of the biggest artists in the world.
Best known as the presenter of genre-defining documentaries for the BBC as well as the award-winning feature My Scientology Movie, Louis Theroux is one of television’s best known faces. In a career spanning 25 years this is his first, rather unexpected, detour into the recording studio.
One of the biggest things on the internet right now, the official release of ‘Jiggle Jiggle’ is destined to propel the track to new heights.
Filipino-Australian singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Ylona Garcia reveals a more vulnerable playful side to her with the release of “Vibin” via PARADISE RISING/88rising Music. With a smooth and catchy hook, and a light, airy production matched with Ylona’s crisp vocals, the track is a perfect summertime slow jam.
“Vibin is a really special song to me,” Ylona said, “because it truly captures where I am artistically, and where I plan to go sonically. The track is about meeting someone new and not wanting to feel pressured to define the relationship – we’re just vibin and enjoying every moment as they come.”
“Vibin” follows the success of her hit single “Entertain Me,” which was featured in the wildly popular game Valorant’s launch trailer of new playable character Neon, reaching #1 Trending on YouTube and amassing over 8M views. The single currently has over 15M plays on Spotify alone.
At only 20 years old, Ylona Garcia has set her sights on the global landscape in the next stage of her creative journey. With multiple song releases under her belt already, in addition to appearing on two of the biggest reality/talent contests shows in the Philippines, Ylona Garcia has become one of the fastest-rising, most prominent young voices in the Filipino music community. She currently has over 4.2M followers on Instagram and nearly 1 million followers on TikTok in addition to over 714,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and 212,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel.
Ylona Garcia’s music is released by 88rising’s sister label PARADISE RISING, which was launched in 2020 to help bring Filipino music to the forefront of culture.
Multi-talented band Why Don’t We have dropped their summer-ready new single “Just Friends” – available now via Atlantic Records. Written by the band alongside JKash (Charlie Puth, Maroon 5), Jakob Hazell (Nick Jonas, Charli XCX), Svante Halldin (Rita Ora, Nick Jonas) and Amanda “Kiddo” Ibanez and produced by Jack&Coke (Nick Jonas, Charli XCX), the release follows “Let Me Down Easy (Lie)” as the group’s second new song of 2022.
“’Just Friends’ is the feel-good smash of the summer! We wrote it in Miami a couple months ago and it was one of the most fun day’s we’ve ever had in the studio. The song is about the classic feeling of wanting to be more than friends with someone you’ve known for a while, and all the emotions that come with that. We hope everyone rolls their windows down and blasts this one all summer long!” – WHY DON’T WE
Since their debut in 2016, Why Don’t We has amassed over 3 billion global career streams, over 930 million YouTube views, 7 million Instagram followers, two RIAA Platinum-certified singles, five RIAA Gold-certified singles, two Top 20 singles at Pop radio, and two Top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 chart. Taking an innovative and unconventional approach towards releasing new music and actively engaging their rapidly growing fanbase, the band put out their first five EPs within their first year together and followed shortly after with their inaugural full-length 8 Letters album in 2018. Soon after, 2019 saw the release of new singles monthly, including standouts “Big Plans,” “I Don’t Belong In This Club” featuring Macklemore, & the Ed Sheeran-penned/Steve Mac-produced hit “What Am I.”
The Los Angeles quintet—Daniel Seavey, Corbyn Besson, Jonah Marais, Jack Avery, and Zach Herron— went back to basics for their sophomore album, flatlining all social media and picking up their instruments to personally write, record, and produce the music themselves. Led by the band’s inaugural Billboard Hot 100 charting single “Fallin’ (Adrenaline),” The Good Times and The Bad Ones earned their highest debut on the Billboard 200 at #3 and their first #1 album on the album sales chart.
Why Don’t We re-emerged with their triumphant single “Love Back” in late 2021, sounding refreshed as ever after a turbulent year and marking the beginning an exciting new era. The band also teamed up with multi-Platinum producer Jonas Blue for their smash collaboration “Don’t Wake Me Up,” further cementing their newly found creative solace and control.
The band has sold out back-to-back North American and global headline tours, in addition to performing on historic stages such as Radio City Music Hall (selling out the venue in under two hours) and Madison Square Garden (as part of the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour). Furthermore, Why Don’t We took home the award for “Choice Music Group” at the 2019 Teen Choice Awards, received a nomination for “Best Group” at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards, and has made high profile national television appearances on NBC’s TODAY Show (including back-to-back summer concerts in Rockefeller Plaza), ABC’s Good Morning America, nationally syndicated Live with Kelly and Ryan, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, NBC’s The Kelly Clarkson Show, CBS’s The Late Late Show with James Corden, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! and more.
Global rock sensations Måneskin return with their new single “SUPERMODEL”, written in Los Angeles and produced by acclaimed producer Max Martin (The Weeknd, Coldplay, Lady Gaga) and his team – LISTEN HERE. The release of ‘Supermodel’ follows news of the band reaching 1 Billion streams last week for their chart hit “Beggin’”.
With its Californian sound and infectious modern rock grooves, “Supermodel” is a sublime new offering from a burgeoning act who continue to carve out their own inimitable brand of rock’n’roll. Måneskin came up with the concept of “Supermodel” after being inspired by the many characters they met during their time in L.A.
The band explained: “We wrote Supermodel after spending the best few months in LA. At times we were surprised yet intrigued to find how people cared so much about the idea of “celebrity” and status, obsessing over their looks and connections.
They add: “We started to imagine an enigmatic Supermodel character. She is really cool, fun and social, yet in reality she is troubled, hiding sadness and addiction. In a way you love her, because she knows how to have a good time, but you also want to avoid her, because she might get you into trouble”
Måneskin will be marking the release with the debut live performance of the single at the Eurovision Song Contest final on May 14th, celebrating a year since their triumphant win which helped catapult them to no.1 in the global charts.
The band will kick off their world tour “LOUD KIDS TOUR” on October 31 with a sellout gig in Seattle and will hit other sold out cities including New York, San Francisco, Atlanta and Washington, as well as a new date in Los Angeles before embarking on their sold out European leg in 2023 – playing iconic venues including London’s O2 Arena, Accor Arena in Paris and Berlin’s Mercedes Benz Arena. For all tour dates, tickets and information, please visit:www.vivoconcerti.com
With a sound that’s at once classic and thoroughly modern, Måneskin are bringing rock’n’roll back on top of the International charts, perfectly mixing it with contemporary tastes. Now co-signed by the likes of Iggy Pop, The Rolling Stones, Mark Ronson and more, Victoria (bass guitar), Damiano (vocals), Thomas (guitar) and Ethan (drums), started their career busking in the streets of Rome in 2015 and, in just few years, they conquered the world by becoming one of the most popular rock acts of their generation. At the moment the band has over 5 billion streams on all digital platforms. With their brand new single Supermodel, Måneskin continue to assert themselves as one of the most exciting rock bands of our time.
May 11, 2022 – Multi-platinum selling pop-rock band 5 Seconds of Summer have released their new single “Me, Myself & I” – listen here. The emotionally-driven song is a propulsive break-up anthem that showcases the group’s pop and punk influences with angsty riffs and a huge sing-along chorus. Produced and co-written by Jason Evigan (Maroon 5, Dua Lipa, David Guetta, Jason Derulo), Jon Bellion (Justin Bieber, Halsey, Lauv), and Pete Nappi (GAYLE, Madison Beer), and Mick Coogan (Charlotte Lawrence, Carlie Hanson).The music video will premiere Friday, May, 13 at 2pm PT/5pm ET on YouTube.
Of the song, Luke states, “’Me, Myself, and I’ is a really exciting song for us to have on the record that we’ve spent the last two years making. We’re all big fans of Jon Bellion and when he sent us the idea, we instantly connected with it. So much of what we had been writing lyrically was extremely introspective and this song fit like a puzzle piece with the rest of the album. We then ended up finishing it with Jon, Jason Evigan, Pete Nappi and Mick Coogan. ‘Me Myself and I’ explores the emotional cycle of feeling like you can do everything on your own and that you don’t need anyone else, but eventually realizing that sometimes you push away the best things in your life. We love this song and hope other people connect with it as much as we do.”
Additionally, the band has announced their highly anticipated 5th studio album, 5SOS5will arrive on September 23, 2022, which will be released independently via BMG. The deluxe CD version and digital versions of the album will have 19 tracks, and cassette and vinyl are also available.The album is available for pre-order now.

The band is about to embark on a reunion tour with dates in North America and Europe, which was originally scheduled for 2020 but postponed due to the pandemic. The tour begins in the U.K. on May 16, continuing through Oct. 17 with five dates at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum. My Chemical Romance is also hitting the festival circuit this summer, performing at emo fest When We Were Young and Riot Fest.
Multi-platinum-selling singer/songwriter Calum Scott premieres his newest sublime single“Heaven,”— listen HERE. Along with sharing the triumphant and timeless ballad, Calum has announced that his highly awaited sophomore album Bridges will arrive on June 17. Soon after the album’s release, the U.K.-based artist will embark on a headlining summer tour of North America.
The fourth single released from Bridges, “Heaven” once again reveals Calum’s gift for finding unexpected ways to express universal emotions. “As songwriters, we’re always searching for new ways of saying ‘I miss you’ or ‘I love you’ or ‘I want you back,’” says Calum, who co-wrote “Heaven” with Hayley Warner (an Australian singer/songwriter who’s also penned songs for artists like Katy Perry and Tori Kelly). “‘The concept of ‘Heaven’ is the love between two people being so powerful that it is far superior to anything else, any other form of paradise that could be offered. I loved the idea of putting the power into the relationship.”
Produced by Fraser T. Smith, “Heaven” unfolds in a dynamic arrangement of soulful piano work, luminous strings, and elegantly swinging drumbeats — a glorious backdrop to Calum’s masterful vocal performance. “It felt important to really push my vocal range on a song like this, so by the first chorus I’m already up in the rafters,” he says. “But if you’re talking about something so passionate, it should be delivered in a very passionate way.” Threaded with lyrics that offer a certain poetic wisdom (e.g., “What good is life if we’re all just waiting to dance in the sky?”), the result is a breathtaking tribute to living in the moment by fully surrendering to love.
The follow-up to Calum’s 2018 full-length debut Only Human — a widely acclaimed effort that hit No. 1 on the iTunes album chart in 21 countries across the globe, in addition to selling more than 3.6 million in adjusted album sales and garnering over 7.5 billion combined streams — Bridges will also feature the previously released singles “If You Ever Change Your Mind”(a bittersweet but empowered piece produced by Greg Kurstin, an eight-time GRAMMY Award® winner known for his work with Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Adele), “Rise” (a wildly soaring track whose video features a captivating performance from British actor Georgia Hirst), and “Biblical” (a heart-on-sleeve ballad Calum later followed with an American Sign Language version made in collaboration with the Tony Award®-winning Deaf West Theatre). Fans can pre-order the album now, HERE.
Recently christened “the best rapper alive” by GQ, Future proudly presents his anxiously awaited ninth full-length and the most anticipated album of 2022, I Never Liked You, today. Listen to I Never Liked YouHERE via Freebandz/Epic Records.
To celebrate the arrival of the record, The GRAMMY® Award-winning, diamond-certified icon just uncovered the event-level music video for “Keep It Burnin” [feat. Kanye West]. Watch the music video HERE. Bound to set the internet on fire, the cinematic clip continues a tradition of blockbuster visuals for Future whose total career YouTube views have exceeded 8 billion and counting.
The album stands out as Future’s first body of work since 2020’s platinum-selling High Off Life, which emerged as his sixth consecutive #1 debut on the Billboard Top 200. He stacks I Never Liked You with powerhouse anthems. The single “Wait For U” [feat. Drake & Tems] showcases the emotional side of Future, and is an instantly quotable anthem, while he also links with Drake yet again for “I’m On One.” He continues showcasing his most emotional and honest songwriting yet with the crooning solo cut “Love U Better,” while Atlanta stands up with the raucous and raw “For A Nut” [feat. Young Thug & Gunna], and “Voodoo” [feat. Kodak Black] conjures an unbreakable spell of its own. The album concludes with “Back to the Basics,” marking a full circle moment for the hip hop titan. These sixteen tracks seal the record’s status as the biggest and boldest release of the year.
Check out the full tracklisting below.
Last week, GQrevealed Future as the cover of their May 2022 issue in a massive and insightful feature. Penned by Elliott Wilson, it marks his first cover issue of the publication. Calling I Never Liked You “reignited, unstoppable,” the profile makes its case for one undisputable fact: “His impact can’t be denied. Especially not after eight solo albums, 19 solo mixtapes, one collaborative album, four collaborative mixtapes, two EPs, and one soundtrack (for 2018’s Superfly). Worldwide, he’s been streamed over 30 billion times and has, in the process, inspired an entire generation of rappers. Few artists are as prolific. When you survey the hip-hop landscape, no other artist has been as consistently excellent, or as influential, for as long as he has. He invented his own sound, which has since become the dominant style in rap. He has delivered hit after hit after hit. And he’s done it all on his own terms. I’ll say it again: Future is the best rapper alive.”For the cover of his new album and additional promotional materials, Future chose images from his recent GQ cover shoot.

Next up, he will headline Rolling Loud Miami at Hard Rock Stadium on July 23 this summer.
